Duck Hunt is a hunting simulator for the NES. It came packed in with the NES for a while and requires a NES Zapper to use.
Gameplay
In Duck Hunt, players use the NES Zapper to shoot ducks. Mode A only has one duck appear each round while Mode B has two ducks each round. Mode C features clay shooting. Clays are smaller and disappear quicker.
If the player hits all the ducks, a hunting dog congratulates the player and they move on to the next level. If not, the dog laughs at the player.
Legacy
The ducks from Duck Hunt are unlockable as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee and several of 9-Volt's microgames are based on Duck Hunt. Also, the dog from Duck Hunt can be shot in "Balloon Saloon" in Barker Bill's Trick Shooting.
Ports and Remakes
- In 1985, Duck Hunt was released as part of Nintendo's Vs. series. While gamers have gone decades joking about shooting the iconic dog, it is actually possible to do so in this version.
- In 1988, Duck Hunt was packaged in the same cartridge as Super Mario Bros..
- Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros. were repackaged in the same cartridge with World Class Track Meet.
